Sony's 'Kraven the Hunter' is a delightfully ridiculous blast from the past, a superhero movie that's both flawed and oddly endearing.

Director Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) brings his signature style, with a frenetic, over-the-top take on the iconic Marvel villain that feels like a '90s relic come to life.
Despite its narrative issues, the film features standout performances from Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the titular hunter and Ariana DeBose as his deadly companion, cementing their status as the new face of Sony's Spider-Man universe.
